identify with. Like 1st and 2nd season Christopher, he is the
audience's window into the mob world. Of course he is on the toolish
side, but every RA I knew in school was a tool. He doesn't deserve to
die or even get beated up, especially by some knucklestein like Jackie
Jr.

He also embodies everything about LA that I'm guessing Chase hates--the phony
charm, the laidback shtick that's a cover for a conniving, grasping ego. It's
the theme we saw last year of how real wise guys are no match against
Hollywood's finest.
And he raises the question--did Meadow love him because he was the antithesis
of Daddy?
arsl...@nospammediaone.net
Well:
1) The kid playing him can't act.
2) I really don't think he knows how gay he comes off.
3) If you're going to play someone as irritating as Noah, you've
got to have SOMETHING that makes you watchable. Michael Imperioli has
charm, Aida Turturro has genuinely made me laugh, David Proval last
season had a believability and intensity that made him as fascinating
as a snake. This kid just makes you want to MAKE HIM STOP TALKING.
He could set civil rights back fifty years.
4) You think anyone could IDENTIFY with this putz? What audience
would that be? Rich gay smartass twenty year olds?

The worst example of that is the assholes who zoom up the shoulder on

didn't punch his lights out, and then have daddy sue if Tony found out and
gave him the opportunity to try.
By the way, I don't see the him as a window into anything other than Meadows
dorm room. So far, he has nod been exposed to Tony's business, and
therefore offers us no perspective.
Since when is a pre-med student a knucklestein? Jackie Jr. is a wanna be at
best. Even if he is the "Hair apparent".

Cutting into the line in NYC is pretty much a capital offense (but Noah
is no threat). I expected him to say something to the cutter, but he
didn't, did he?

Reveals several aspects of Noah & his dad. Noah externalizes his
problems, maybe he just wrote a C- paper? So much for being so sensitive
& intelligent, I guess. He didn't have to let Caitlin come into his room
& certainly doesn't have to anymore; but a restraining order? That's as
much overkill in Mr. Tannenbaum's world as having Noah whacked (or
beaten up) would have been in Tony's. This also tells us that Noah's dad
encourages Noah's externalization of problems. "Don't worry, son, I'll
slap a restraining order on that bitch so fast it'll make her head spin
and you can go back yo getting the A's we both know you deserve". IMHO,
a couple of jerkoffs, JD or no.

That's justifiable homicide in my book. We should get a reward for
clipping those bastards. Also, nail two or three and you'll find people
less anxious to do it.
More real life we need cops stationed at these places, we all know where
and when they are, handing out $500 tickets - these have to hurt, maybe
impound the vehicle for a month.

Sometimes you get stuck with a casting choice. Some things don't show
up as clearly in the audition room. And when you're committed to as
specific a look as the story-line required, choices automatically get
limited.

I don't think most men are really ambivalent about it .. if anything,
it reminded me of doing that myself and it brought some color to my
cheeks. I was embarassed by the memory.

Kathy Cook
tosses them. Him and his Dad should get a visit from "The Boys"
Kathy C.
Room Thirteen
Noah (whose family name virtually screams half-Jew being the German
for evergreen or Christmas tree) dumped Meadow at his father's
insistence. (Remember that this is the guy who slapped a restraining
order on Meadow's near-suicidal roommate.)
The scene in the restaurant makes little sense if not to make it known
to Counselor Tannenbaum that his son is dating a Mafia Princess.
Tannenbaum pater has high hopes for his son's legal career and sees
little in the way of contribution from a liaison with an Italian girl
from New Jersey with a father in the "Waste Management" business.
So daddy Tannenbaum squelched the relationship. Sooner or later
Meadow learns of this, that the guy to whom she (presumably) gave her
virginity is cowed by his father, where she stood up to hers in
pursuit of her relationship with a half-black man.
Meadow will inevitably let the tale slip, and it will eventually get
around to her New Jersey (extended) family. I name Jackie Jr, who has
made his interest in Meadow very clear, as the one who makes Noah live
up to his first name, and end up floating.

The actor who plays Noah is no worse than many actors his age on TV. His
specific look could have been played by any number of ethnic combinations,
just like Meadow. His skin was lighter than hers. If the audience hates
him, then I'd say he's acting quite well.

My opinion is that when he created the character, he knew full well that
most viewers would dislike Noah. A show's creator can present a
character in whatever light he wants to [obviously]. Chase *chose* to
make Noah difficult to like...
So yes, I think Chase *did* know that. Are you implying that Chase
intends for the audience to feel sympathetic towards Noah or relate to
him in some way?
Most viewers *love* Tony Soprano....there's a reason. It's the way his
character is written by Chase et al.....

When I lived in Washington (Ft. Lewis) we had a really bad area where one
freeway merged with another. People constantly zoomed down the right side and
tried to slide in up front. I took great joy in waiting in line to the far
right, blocking their progress. Sure, I got the horn blasts, etc. but I also
got much satisfaction.

You misunderstand, WildE. I can differentiate between not liking a
character and not liking an actor. I thought David Proval was
wonderful last season and couldn't wait for T to do something horrible
to him. This kid is not someone I "love to hate". I just don't enjoy
watching the show when he's on it. That can't be the desired effect.
Yes, his look could have come from any number of genetic mixes.
However, as I mentioned in another post, my understanding is that the
young man is in fact black/jewish. I suspect that was not accidental.
I don't understand defending mediocrity by saying that it exists
elsewhere. When another actor is the topic, we'll discuss their
skills.

Really? Isn't his name Patrick Tully or something? Doesn't sound
jewish....but I was wondering...

I'm saying he's better than the kid who plays AJ and he's a newbie playing
with a cast of veteran character actors. The audience has strongly reacted
to his role and within that context, I think he does a good job. JMO.

Again, although I can't speak for anyone else, it's not his ROLE to
which I have such a negative reaction. I think that the character
could be played in an interesting way. He just doesn't do it.

This was a few years ago - I probably wouldn't do it now. My husband works on
